About location

Arenys de Munt combines a compact Catalan townscape with wooded foothills in a way that reflects its position between the Maresme coast and the Montnegre range. Set inland from Arenys de Mar, the town follows the Riera d’Arenys, a seasonal watercourse that has shaped its central corridor and flows towards the Mediterranean. Low-rise houses, tiled roofs and small apartment blocks spread beneath forested hills belonging to the Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor. Arenys de Munt is particularly associated with cherry growing; its annual Fira de la Cirera celebrates a crop long cultivated in the surrounding land. Within the wider Maresme comarca, it retains a distinctly inland small-town character.

City Arenys de Munt

Few towns in Catalonia have a history as closely tied to the modern independence movement as Arenys de Munt. Set inland from the Maresme coast, it occupies the valley of the Riera de Sobirans beneath the wooded slopes of the Montnegre range, within the wider landscape of Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park. The town is also associated with cherry growing, an important local tradition. In September 2009, Arenys de Munt held a non-binding local consultation on Catalan independence, widely regarded as the first in a later wave of similar votes across Catalonia.

Catalonia
Region Catalonia

Catalonia combines Mediterranean ease with rugged inland terrain in a way that reflects its position between the Pyrenees and Spain’s eastern coast. In northeastern Spain, the region extends from the coves of the Costa Brava to high mountain valleys and the Ebro Delta. Barcelona is its largest city and cultural reference point, known for Antoni Gaudí’s still-unfinished Sagrada Família. Inland, the serrated massif of Montserrat rises near Catalonia’s geographic centre and is home to the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat. Catalan is co-official with Spanish, and the region’s language, cuisine and traditions give everyday life a distinct identity.

Country Spain

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
